'Nephside' - Limited Edition Print

It's been three great years since I started this blog and this post is officially my 200th. In a small sense, it feels like a real milestone. Blogging is quite a commitment as I do so like to keep you guys well nourished.

In this blogs infancy, the sheer novelty of it was seductive enough to satisfy me but soon the beast within began to take form. These days, I have a very strong sense of my identity as an artist and this blog is a manifestation of that.

The bizzare bi-polar punch and judy show between total isolation and the world of the hyper-social never gets dull. Through all of the uncertainty and doubt there is one fundamental aspect which should be cherished - Freedom of Expression.

A great many things happen off-screen (IRL) and these instances inform and affect what you see before you. For all those who have helped me or shown an interest, even in the slightest way, I couldn't have done it without you. I cannot thank you enough.

CRYPTOLOGY

Born on a cold night in 1986, it was clear that Omar was a special child. Between 1994-97, Omar lived on the edge of the Great Rift Valley mountain range in darkest Africa. After a time lost in the Great British educational system, it became apparent that Omar's only chance was art school. In the winter of 2007 he was exchanged and went to live in Transylvania (Romania) because he thought it would look good on paper. Painstakingly and with much controversy he graduated from art school in 2009 and his degree show entitled 'Omar's Spuriosity Shop' was met with wide acclaim and his work now exists in many countries. Omar travels around with his briefcase which holds essential documents and he insists on delivering artwork personally, where he can, as long as he is given coffee. He always appears on time and in full Sabbath attire or his leathers. If you should want to contact Omar for exhibitions, commissions, or any other business his email address is zingaromar@gmail.com -
Despite the way that he presents himself, it's all smoke and mirrors, he is in fact very approachable.
